Sen. John McCain said President Trump's comments suggesting he wants to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria "emboldened" President Bashar al Assad's regime to commit the recent chemical attack that killed at least 40 people in the war-torn country.
"President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United States would prematurely withdraw from Syria," the Republican senator from Arizona said in a statement Sunday.
"Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women and children, this time in Douma," McCain continued.
McCain's remarks came hours after Trump tweeted there would be a "big price" to pay for the attack while slamming Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran for supporting Assad.


From the new baby to the latest sales figures, Skype makes sharing our big news better. Anyone can start calling, texting and video-conferencing—or even dialing landlines—thanks to the intuitive design. With zillions of Skype users to connect to, it's one of the most useful apps on our iPhone and Apple Watch.
Skype is still the default video app for me, though I am using Viber and Messenger for chats, their video quality not yet close enough to replace skype. The only thing I dont like is how in call windows are areanged, takes some exploration time to figure out how to rotate screen and move call tiles around, on the other hand it has additional features like call recording which I like.
Skype as good as Windows, nowadays..
Today I opened my skype and there it was: "Your friend is missing you.., send him a message.." I cannot stand anymore the apps and systems that dare to tell you,what to do. You, dear Skype, do not even know if it is my friend, if it is not a person I broke up with. Furthermore,it is not possible to delete it right away, when it upsets you. Thumbs down for each and every application which is not under your control and which dares to make suggestions socialwisely.

Q: Android App actions issues when English Articles are used as a part of speech We have implemented android shortcuts. Testing of App actions on physical devices was fine, except for an issue with English Articles.
When English Articles appear as a part of a statement, the statement is not recognized as an action, and Assistant does not redirected to the app. For example, 'add note to Express Scheduler' is recognized, while 'add a note to Express Scheduler' is not.
My question is whether anybody have experienced similar issues?
Please, see capabilities segment extracted from shortcuts.xml. I am  using actions.intent.CREATE_THING and actions.intent.GET_THING BIIs. I've listed one example above: 'add note to Express Scheduler' is recognized, while 'add a note to Express Scheduler' is not.

Thank you!

A: I think what may be happening is that you have a very generic name of the thing ("a note"), when it is expecting to handle specific names which normally don't need an article ("Pixel 4", "Stairway to Heaven").
You may want to try one of these to address the problem:

*

*The thing.name parameter for that BII allows for an inline inventory which is a way of setting allowable values and alises for those values. You can create an inventory item for note that has aliases such as "a note" and "note".

*Consider using the actions.intent.CREATE_DIGITAL_DOCUMENT BII which indicates that it supports phrases such as "Create a note".

Teach and implement the Religious education program based on the Ignatian Life and Faith Series Curriculum.
Promote the Catholic faith and values in the students.
Expose students to Community Service through the Catholic Community Connection Program.
The students are always excited and look forward to Religion Classes. Here they learn and appreciate God's creation, how He created people in His own Image and how He loves and cares for the world; besides other concepts. The goal is to help the students to know, love and serve God and neighbor through Biblical and Catholic Doctrine.
In Religion Classes, the curriculum is derived from the Ignatian Life and Faith Series. Each class has its own theme of the concepts taught. Students participate in different activities including coloring, painting crossword puzzles, drawing, reading, writing, games, singing, art and crafts projects, worksheets. These methods help students to internalize the concepts learned, besides having fun and developing various talents and skills according to different grade levels. The Ignatian Series is content-driven and it encourages parents to teach and or follow up with the worksheets for homework, so that their children can deepen the Catholic Faith and prepare well to receive the Sacraments.
Students are also taught Catholic Prayers, Sacraments and they have Holy Mass once a week for their spiritual nourishment.
In our Catholic Community Connections Program students often write cards, donate items and deliver to places several places including the homes for the elderly to sing and St. Vincent de Paul. This challenges them to express their solidarity and love for all.


*Deer resistant *Disease Resistant The highly fragrant flowers have a distinctive scent that is variously described as reminiscent of grape jelly, orange blossom, or vanilla. Iris 'Argentea-variegata' is useful in many ways.
Often their entire garden is turned over to this aristocratic flower. Autumn Circus Bearded Iris (Iris germanica 'Autumn Circus') is one of those that every iris lover has, or wants to have, in the garden.
Its red, non-fading flowers add a pop of color with its yellow beards. Iris War Chief, Iris germanica 'War Chief', will command attention to that special area of your garden. Best used around pools, ponds and water gardens, and for mass plantings.
Big Blue Liriope, Liriope muscari 'Big Blue', is an arching, grass-like perennial that produces spikes of dense, lavender flowers throughout summer. Hardy, evergreen groundcover with summer flowers and winter interest.
Somewhat relaxed in habit, it can serve as the main feature in a fall garden long after most other plants have given up! When relaxed, the blossoms can spill over in a graceful manner.
Plant one near a small pond for an elegant accent. Your Dwarf Maiden Grass is sometimes called "silver grass" due to its 3/8-inch wide blades of silver-tinted, green foliage that rise from a central mound.
Sun or shade, rich soil or poor, Liriope Spicata will happily make your garden look great. The leaves are strappy and beautifully deep green. Use them in masses as a grand groundcover under big trees or lined up in rows to guide your way along a pathway.
These 8" umbels are held three and four feet high over the thick, daylily-like leaves. This is the first bicolor agapanthus! The individual trumpet-shaped flowers are true-blue at their base fading to white at their tips.
As one of the easiest and most rewarding perennials to grow, this award winning 'Blue Fortune' is a tremendously long bloomer! 'Blue Fortune' is useful for adding a spot of color to the garden late in the season when many other plants are finished.
The foliage is deep green, almost succulent looking, and extremely shiny. For best results, plant 'Table Mountain' in a sunny area, with some afternoon shade, with well- drained soil.
The purple-blue flowers are born on long wand-like stems rising above strappy, grass-like leaves. Agapanthus make great potted plants. You just need to bring them indoors in the coldest months.
In the north, morning sun is tolerated and in the south, dense shade is necessary. It does require full shade in most areas. It adds hard-to-find color and dramatic texture to the shade garden with its bright silver leaves that are veined in deep green.
They don't need staking to stand up tall and true. Blue Ice Blue Star provides three great seasons of color and texture in your garden. They thrive in average soil in full sun to part shade.

One of the most acclaimed operatic and orchestral conductors of his generation, Karl Bohm was one of the most influential musicians and recording artists in the postwar classical world. As a specialist in Mozart, Wagner, and Strauss, he had few peers and his expertise extended to the music of Haydn on one end and Schoenberg and Berg on the other. Bohm was born in Graz, Austria, of German-Bohemian descent (the name "Bohm" literally translates as "Bohemian") on his father's side and French-Alsatian background on his mother's side. He was the son of Leopold Bohm, an attorney, and the nephew of Austria's former Minister of War, General Stoger-Steiner. Bohm earned a law degree in deference to his father's wishes, but his real interest lay in music -- he studied privately in Graz and later in Vienna, and by 1915 was coaching singers at the Graz Opera, even as he worked toward a career in law. He made his debut as a conductor at Graz in 1917, with Viktor Nessler's forgotten opera Der Trompeter von Sackingen, a work that Bohm later described as "something for the tastes of a provincial choral society." In 1919 he received his doctorate in law, but Bohm had already begun a serious career in music. Bohm's first great triumph came soon after, with the Graz production of Wagner's Lohengrin, for which he added extra singers from the city's choral society, and then spent months rehearsing every part in painstaking detail, even singing each part himself with the vocalists -- although he wore out his own health with this effort, the resulting performances were an artistic and critical triumph that had far-reaching consequences for Bohm. Among those in attendance at the performance was Karl Muck, one of the leading conductors of the day, famed at the time for his work at Bayreuth as well as with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Muck offered to train Bohm further in Wagner's music, and the younger man spent his apprenticeship with Muck working on the Ring cycle, Parsifal, Tristan und Isolde, and Meistersinger. It was with this groundwork that Bohm was prepared to work on a new production of Tristan, which became one of the works for which Bohm was most famous. In 1921, Bohm was solidly entrenched in Graz when he was offered the chance to join the Munich State Opera as an assistant to Bruno Walter, the leading light among the younger generation of conductors. The circumstances of his audition were most unusual -- he was allowed the chance to conduct Weber's Der Freischutz with only a single hour's rehearsal for the orchestra, which allowed him to work on only one of the opera's three acts. He chose the third act, and in one scene noted the absence of clarinets, over the passage where the Hermit enters. The musicians insisted there was no clarinet part, and Bohm ordered the score out of archives -- he found the clarinet part, obscured under the stains from oil lamps, and received the congratulations of Walter and the job as his assistant. Bohm later described this seeming reduction in rank, to assistant conductor of a first-rate opera company, as a vital element in his education. He spent six years in Munich working under Walter, conducting 528 performances of 73 different operas, a unique and priceless learning experience. The most important part of this experience lay with Mozart's and Wagner's operas. In 1927, Bohm accepted an appointment as music director at Darmstadt, where he gained further experience conducting modern operatic works, including Berg's Wozzeck. Fate played a hand in 1930 when Bohm conducted Beethoven's Fidelio in Darmstadt as part of a celebration of the 150th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. The Ninth Symphony had received a lackluster performance under another conductor; when Bohm's performance of the opera rescued the festivities, with one critic writing "That was the Beethoven celebration. That was the Beethoven celebration." Fidelio was to remain at the core of his repertory over the next 50 years. In 1931, Bohm moved on to the same position at the Hamburg Opera, and in 1933, he met Richard Strauss for the first time, when the composer came to Hamburg to help in the preparation of the premiere of his opera Arabella. Bohm's contact with Strauss was a pivotal moment in his career on several levels, leading not only to a close relationship between the two for the next 16 years, but to a much deeper understanding of Mozart's operas, growing out of Strauss' devotion to Mozart. Bohm also became an increasingly familiar figure at the podium in the concert hall, and made his debut with the Vienna Symphony in the early '30s. His first chance to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic came in April of 1933 when the orchestra's music director, Clemens Krauss, resigned and Bohm stepped into the breach for a concert. It marked the beginning of a long, productive relationship with the orchestra. Bohm faced his first career setback in 1933 following the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. He was called to the office of an attorney in Hamburg who had assumed the post of the party's official representative in the city, and was informed that the current music director, as a non-Aryan, would momentarily be dismissed, and that Bohm was the logical choice for the job -- but for the fact that they could find no record of his party membership. When confronted about what party he belonged to, the conductor replied "Music." He was denied the post after refusing to join the Nazi Party. In 1934, following Fritz Busch's forced resignation as music director of the Dresden Opera, Bohm took up the Dresden post. Although he was later criticized for this, Bohm retained a cordial friendship with Busch himself. The Dresden post led to other appointments, which, in turn, resulted in the beginning of his international career. In the mid-'30s, he made his London debut at Covent Garden and Queen's Hall, conducting the Saxon State Opera and Orchestra. Bohm's musical activities during the Nazi era were extensive, both in Germany and Austria, where he conducted many of the Vienna Philharmonic's subscription concerts following the country's annexation by Germany in 1938, and became director of the Vienna State Opera on January 1, 1943, a post that he held until the Allied victory in 1945. He recorded many works with the Vienna Opera and Philharmonic, as well as the Dresden Staatskapelle Orchestra. Among Bohm's important and groundbreaking recordings during this era were the Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5, several of Strauss' and Mozart's operas, and the symphonies of Mozart and Brahms, among others. Bohm's activities during World War II were seldom written about during his lifetime, although they were much discussed. On one level, he was courageous musical figure, championing the music of Richard Strauss, conducting the opera Die Schweigsame Frau ("The Silent Woman") despite the official disdain with which the work -- with its libretto written by the outlawed, "non-Aryan" Stefan Zweig -- was held in official government circles (Hitler himself, at Strauss' heartfelt and unyielding insistence, allowed an exception to the ban on performance, but then declined to attend), and Strauss' subsequent opera, Daphne, which was dedicated to Bohm. He also sheltered a Jewish industrialist for over a year in Vienna, quietly challenging the Nazi-era regime, even as he participated in official functions on behalf of the government and the party. As director of the Vienna State Opera, Bohm brought the company's standards back up from a low that they'd hit at the end of 1938, after the impact of the German annexation and the departure of many of the company's best musicians. During the war, he conducted the work of such other contemporary composers as Hans Pfitzner and Theodore Berger, but his most important commitment was to Richard Strauss. From the comparative safety of Vienna, where Strauss had fled -- under the protection of the appointed governor -- after his falling out with Nazi officialdom, Bohm staged an 80th birthday celebration of the composer's music. Bohm was banned from public performances in Germany and Austria in the wake of the Allied victory in 1945, but he became a frequent guest of opera companies elsewhere in Europe, and from 1950 until 1954 served as director of German repertory at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 1954, he returned to Vienna and, in a bitter victory over his rival Clemens Krauss, was given the directorship of the Vienna State Opera, where he conducted the production of Beethoven's Fidelio that not only reopened the rebuilt opera house, but was the subject of an NBC prime-time network special (Call to Freedom) early in 1956. Among his most notable recordings during this period in Vienna was his performance of Strauss' Die Frau Ohne Schatten for English Decca. In February of 1956, Bohm also made his long-delayed debut in America, as a guest conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In March of 1956 he resigned from the Vienna Philharmonic's music directorship amid criticism over his frequent absences from the city. Bohm never took another music director's spot, preferring conducting to the distractions of administration. His Metropolitan Opera debut, and his first performance in Manhattan, took place on October 28, 1957, when he opened the company's 1957-1958 season with a new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni, in which Bohm's work was reviewed as "an artistic sensation...cast[ing] its spell over a grateful audience." Bohm was later praised in the New York Herald Tribune for welding an often competitive group of singers into "the most patrician operatic ensemble imaginable." In the 1959 season, he not only revived Don Giovanni, but conducted a highly praised new production of Wagner's Die Meistersinger Von Nurnburg, and, later still, Alban Berg's Wozzeck. In 1960, Bohm made his Carnegie Hall debut conducting the New York Philharmonic for the first time, in a program of pieces by Mozart, Hindemith, and Brahms that was a great critical and popular success. In 1961, he brought the Berlin Philharmonic on tour of the United States, conducting a program that included Strauss' Don Juan and Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. That same year, he also conducted Wagner's Parsifal at the Metropolitan Opera for the first time. And with the New York Philharmonic in November of 1962, now at their new home in Philharmonic (later Avery Fisher) Hall at Lincoln Center, he conducted Mozart's Symphony No. 41 (Jupiter) and Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 which, in those days, was still a work little heard in the United States. During this same period, Bohm's son, the actor Carl (aka Karlheinz) Boehm, achieved some prominence in international movies. During the early '60s, he was seen in major roles in such blockbusters as MGM's The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, although his best starring part was as the lead in Michael Powell's classic Peeping Tom. Even as Karl Bohm's renown in America was growing, his obligations in Europe were burgeoning as well. Apart from operatic engagements and a growing body of recordings, mostly for the Deutsche Grammophon label (although the most highly praised of his three recordings of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte was done in London, for EMI), involved work with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra (of which he also served as president), the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, the Saxon State Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony, and the Vienna Philharmonic. His repertory by this time embraced everything from Haydn and Mozart to Berg and Schoenberg, and in addition to steady concert commitments throughout the '60s and '70s, he also made hundreds of recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, including new performances (primarily live) of virtually all of Richard Strauss' major operas, all of the Mozart operas, the Beethoven symphonies, the late Mozart symphonies, and most of the rest of his repertory, up to and including 20th century works. In 1964, in recognition of his career, the Austrian government granted Bohm the honorary title of "General Music Director of Austria," while in Germany, a statue of the conductor stands at the Berlin Opera House. His greatest American triumph took place in October of 1966, when he conducted Strauss' Die Frau Ohne Schatten at the Metropolitan Opera. In its review of the concert, The New York Times critic wrote of Bohm, "Among the present group of Met opera conductors, he towers like a colossus." In 1967, Bohm brought the Vienna Philharmonic to Carnegie Hall and the Montreal Worlds Fair ("Expo '67"), and under Bohm's baton the Vienna Philharmonic later played a role in the 125th anniversary celebration of the New York Philharmonic's founding. With the deaths of Furtwangler, Walter, and Klemperer, Bohm was the last conductor from 19th-century Austria or Germany to remain active into the 1970s, and his work continued at a furious pace -- including tours of Japan with the Vienna Philharmonic -- until he suffered a stroke in 1981, from which he never fully recovered. Bohm's recordings are noted for their elegance of nuance. A distinctly restrained figure at the podium, he encouraged precise playing from his musicians, and painstaking rehearsal from his singers. With this approach, he was able to coax exceptionally fine performances from orchestras and casts of decidedly uneven capabilities, allowing them to rise to the occasion of his performances, and superb work from ensembles such as the Vienna, Berlin, and New York Philharmonic orchestras. Bohm's 1930s Dresden performances of Bruckner's symphonies, which have been reissued on CD by various private labels, are of particular note for the absence of the Wagnerian bombast with which these works were usually treated. Part of the explanation for Bohm's differing approach, according to some scholars, play with the fact that the Dresden orchestra members were equipped with notably old instruments, dating to Bruckner's own time, which created a sound more in keeping with the actual scores as they were known at the time, and less bombastic than newer, more "efficient" instruments, could produce. His complete recordings in Germany and Austria from 1933 through 1945 comprised a set of more than 20 long-playing records. His early-'40s recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic are fascinating, despite their obvious sonic deficiencies. His Brahms Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are especially compelling, although his recording of the Mozart Symphony No. 35 has long since been supplanted by his stereo version on Deutsche Grammophon. It is Bohm's modern recordings for Deutsche Grammophon that are considered the core of his legacy. This includes his recordings of Richard Strauss' music, orchestral and operatic, which have few equals -- only Rudolf Kempe and Herbert Von Karajan -- and his Beethoven, Mozart, Bruckner and Schubert are also considered to be among the finest available. His performances are noted for their carefully nuanced playing, without the bombast of Von Karajan's interpretations.

The upside-down cakes allow you to use the fruit in a different way when making a cake. The fruit is juicy and caramelized when cooked protected by the sponge of the cake. Then when turning them upside down, the fruit shows a brightness that makes them very yummy. You can prepare it with many types of fruit but with Kumquats it is absolutely perfect.

Supreme Court to Hear Cases Tied To Trump's Policies On Mexico Border
By NPR News | October 19, 2020
The U.S. Supreme Court said it will hear cases that involve the U.S. "Remain in Mexico" policy and the border wall, two of President Trump's most controversial attempts to limit migration across the southern border with Mexico.
The court did not say when it will hear the cases, but arguments are likely to be heard well after the Nov. 3 election. The outcome of next month's presidential election could render both cases moot if Trump loses his reelection bid.
In one case, the justices will review a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling from early 2020 that briefly forced the Trump administration to halt its practice of making thousands of people seeking asylum at the southern border wait in Mexico for the U.S. to process their claims.
The Supreme Court allowed the policy, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, or MPP, to remain in effect in March as the issue made its way through a legal back-and-forth.
The "Remain in Mexico" lawsuit was filed on behalf of 11 asylum-seekers who were forced to return to Mexico as their claims worked their way through the U.S. immigration system.
"Asylum-seekers face grave danger every day this illegal and depraved policy is in effect," said the American Civil Liberties Union's Judy Rabinovitz, who is the lead counsel in the lawsuit. "The courts have repeatedly ruled against it, and the Supreme Court should as well."
The White House sees it differently, issuing a statement earlier this year saying, "By any measure, MPP has been hugely successful, including by reducing burdens on United States communities and easing the humanitarian crisis on the Southern border."
In the other case, Trump v. Sierra Club, the high court will hear a dispute over the administration's use of military funding to build sections of the president's long-promised border wall.
Lower courts had frozen billions in funding, but the Supreme Court granted a stay in the summer of 2019 that allowed the government to spend money from the Defense Department budget to build parts of a wall along the border with Mexico.
In late 2019, federal judges in California and Texas ruled against the president's plan to shift money around, saying the administration cannot reallocate money Congress has appropriated for other purposes.

Giving Back Is Its Own Reward
Student volunteers Rabiya Imran and Sharif Ibrahim El Shishtawy Hassan make dinner preparations at Inaugural Service Day.
Gugandeep Banga (Class of 2019) & NYUAD Community Outreach October 7, 2015
Collaborative. Memorable. Rewarding. Fun. NYU Abu Dhabi's Inaugural Service Day volunteer initiative, organized by the Office of Community Outreach and ADvocacy student interest group, was an amalgamation of all these emotions and experiences.
More than 50 student volunteers boarded buses for Abu Dhabi to meet with dozens of women who provide cleaning services in the city. Students arrived bearing gifts like clothing and handmade jewelry, and hosted activities and a dinner to bring everyone together.
"Even from behind the looking lens of the camera, I was able to capture the essence of emotion," said student photographer Gugandeep Banga (Class of 2019), "like a meaningful moment of a woman talking in her native language with someone who may have reminded her of a daughter, son, or friend. The outdoor courtyard was filled with an abundance of appreciation from the women and volunteers alike."
Being involved as a student, he added, is an experience that is rewarding and unforgettable. "Inaugural Service Day took only a few megabytes of my camera's memory card but will spend a lifetime in my own memory."
Event organizers collectively said they were moved by the "contagious passion and commitment" shown by the students. "The ladies' faces lit up with every decorated photo frame, fun polaroid, colorful bracelet or origami made."
Inaugural Service Day is held every year in September and aims to connect NYUAD students with people in Abu Dhabi and the region who would benefit from an extra show of support. Additional volunteer events take place throughout the academic year, including weekly visits to this same group of women where students lead dance, music and well-being workshops.

Around the World in 80 Days (1989)
Around the World in 80 Days is a 1989 three-part television Eastmancolor miniseries originally broadcast on NBC. The production garnered three nominations for Emmy awards that year. The teleplay by John Gay is based on the Jules Verne novel of the same title. Starring Pierce Brosnan as Phileas Fogg, Eric Idle as Passepartout, Julia Nickson as Princess Aouda, and Peter Ustinov as Detective Fix, the miniseries featured multiple cameo appearances, including Patrick Macnee, Simon Ward, and Christopher Lee as members of the Reform Club, and Robert Morley, who had a cameo in the 1956 film adaptation, and Roddy McDowall appear as officials of the Bank of England. Other familiar faces, credited as guest stars and in more substantial roles, include John Hillerman, Jack Klugman, Darren McGavin, Henry Gibson and John Mills. The heroes travel a slightly different route than in the book, and the script makes several contemporary celebrities part of the story who were not mentioned in the book, such as Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Pasteur, Jesse James, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Queen Victoria.

The Winners And Losers From The 2019 Emmy Nominations
Everyone Has The Same Favorite 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' Character
Josh Kurp
Senior Pop Culture Editor
Cloaks and capes aren't the same thing, but they're both having a moment.
A cloak played a major role in Doctor Strange, helping the titular character fight Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius, while a caped Imperial military officer in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story tangles with… Mads Mikkelsen. He's positively Mads about outer garments. The first of Disney's Star Wars standalone films was released late Thursday, and reviews have been mostly positive. Our own Mike Ryan wrote, "I could make the case Rogue One shouldn't work — from everything from the reshoots to just the fact Star Wars is breaking from centering its story around the Skywalkers — but, yet, it does work. Mostly," while others have praised Rogue One's ending and sassy new droid, K-2SO.
But the obvious MVP is the cape worn by Ben Mendelsohn's Orson Krennic.
Majestic. And don't think Mendelsohn doesn't know it. "Listen, I have no doubt that cape is, and you'll pardon my language, a motherf*cking movie star," the Bloodline star told Vulture. "It's a movie star all on its own!" (He also said that putting on the cape "gives you a dignity and an uprightness that you might not have had otherwise. It's the sign of a great costume.") Rogue One is more serious and (sigh) "gritty" than any previous Star Wars movie, but the cape, along with Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker's over-the-top performances, add a welcome campiness to all the grim bloodshed.
What I'm saying is, everyone should own a billowing cape. Thank you.

Divine Brown and Gyptian's Pop Reggae Version of 'Beautiful Lady'

Divine Earth Essencereleased a collaborative pop-reggae version of Kemar 'Flava' McGregor's one-drop classic, "Beautiful Lady," last Friday on iTunes. The new single – a romantic duet that interpolates Divine Brown's sensual vocals with Gyptian's world-famous melody – will be featured on Divine Brown's upcoming album, which is due for release in 2013 by Universal Music Group.
The duet version of "Beautiful Lady" reflects McGregor's newfound pop culture affinities – adding Canada's favorite R&B songstress to the bubbly character of Gyptian's melody, energized by a cheery, beachfront roots riddim. "'Beautiful Lady' is a feel-good song," said McGregor. "Divine Brown makes the song even more romantic, and the riddim takes the song to another level. It captures the feel-good vibe of the original, but the new beat has a pop feel that makes the song even more mainstream. It's more commercial and radio friendly."
Divine Brown said "Beautiful Lady" represents one of her favorite songwriting themes. She said the song will have a sensual appeal among reggae fans, because of the spur-of-the-moment romance motif in the song's lyrics. "I want people to feel sexy when they hear 'Beautiful Lady' – it's such a sensual track about love at first sight," said Divine Brown. "Love songs are one of the most universal themes in music. Everyone has fallen in love. I tend to draw from personal experiences when I write love songs. The process is relaxing and fun."
Born in Toronto, Canada, Divine Brown is a four-time Juno Award nominee (Canada's equivalent of the Grammy Awards), and she won the Juno Award for "R&B Soul Recording of the Year" in 2009. She has a five-octave vocal range, and her singles have been featured on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart and the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 Chart.

Dr. Francis Collins, NIH Director, convened and charged the Physician-Scientist Workforce Working Group (PSW-WG) with analyzing the current composition and size of the physician-scientist biomedical workforce and making recommendations for actions that NIH should take to help sustain and strengthen a robust and diverse PSW. The need for the PSW-WG emerged from the recommendations of the Biomedical Research Workforce Working Group for strengthening the biomedical workforce. Its June 2012 report concluded that the training and career paths of physician-scientists were different than that of the non-clinician PhD workforce and that further study of this important segment of the workforce was needed.
Warning bells about the health of the physician-science workforce were sounded as early as 1979 when future NIH Director James Wyngaarden observed that the physician-scientist with a medical degree was becoming "an endangered species." He had observed that MD applicants for NIH project grants represented a progressively smaller fraction of all applicants than previously, while the corresponding fraction of PhD applicants had increased dramatically. In 1996, NIH established a committee headed by David G. Nathan to make recommendations about the perceived shortfall of clinician scientists. The Nathan Committee recommended creating new career development grants for patient-oriented research and loan repayment programs to help young physician-scientists pursue research careers despite an increasing load of educational debt.
In spring 2013, the PSW-WG met and established subcommittees to discuss issues confronting the physician-scientist workforce. To inform its deliberations, the PSW-WG directed quantitative analyses of NIH IMPACII and other relevant databases to answer key questions, and considered the findings from qualitative research based on focus groups and interviews with students, research deans, and early career investigators.
The PSW-WG defined physician-scientists as scientists with professional degrees who have training in clinical care and who are engaged in independent biomedical research. The PSW thus includes individuals with an MD, DO, DDS/DMD, DVM/VMD, or nurses with research doctoral degrees who devote the majority of their time to biomedical research. The PSW-WG recognizes that the primary goal of professional clinical education is the training of a skilled clinical workforce in the respective areas of practice, and that the portion of such professionals devoted to research will be small. However, findings which lead to advances in practice are driven largely by the work of investigators with a variety of degrees, of whom those with clinical training contribute essential knowledge and skills.
NIH is the primary funder of biomedical research and research training in the United States. The strength of the physician-scientist workforce reflects the nature of the nation's investment in this arena. NIH funding increased greatly in the late 1990s from $13.675 billion (1998) to $27.167 billion (2003). During this period, institutions expanded their research capacity and training programs, and the number of physicians and non-clinically trained researchers applying for NIH R01 grants increased. NIH's budget growth came to a halt in 2004 and has since remained static. After adjusting for inflation using the Biomedical Research and Development Price Index, the 2013 NIH budget was 21.9 percent below its 2003 level. The 2008 recession also reduced research funding from other sources, including pharmaceutical companies.
Size and Composition of the NIH-funded Physician-Scientist Workforce
It is difficult to obtain accurate numbers about the total size of the physician-scientist workforce because the data are considered proprietary by the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, and because data are not available on the number of physician-scientists whose research is funded by non-NIH sources. PSW-WG analyses indicate that there were approximately 9,000 physician-scientists in the NIH-funded workforce during 2008-2012, including 4,192 with an MD, 4,086 with an MD/PhD, 341 nurse-scientists, 253 veterinarian-scientists, and 161 dentist-scientists.
Though their percentage of the overall biomedical workforce has been steadily decreasing since the 1970s, the total number of physician-scientists with a medical degree has remained remarkably steady over the past few decades, with MDs and MD/PhDs each comprising about 50 percent of the physician-scientist workforce with a medical degree. At the same time the average age of entry into the independent workforce (marked by receipt of an NIH RPG) has increased steadily, as has the average age of the physician-scientist workforce.
Nearly three-quarters of the MD RPG awardees were white and another one in five were Asian. Although there has been significant growth for Asian and Hispanic awardees over the past decade, there has been less growth for African-Americans and Native Americans. The lack of diversity of the physician-scientist workforce is a source of very serious concern to the NIH and to the professions. Other groups are addressing these difficult issues; the PSW-WG did not attempt to duplicate their efforts, and endorses strong investment in improving minority participation in scientific leadership.
Female physician-scientists remain underrepresented in some segments of the NIH-funded physician-scientist workforce. For physician-scientists with a medical degree, the percentage of female MDs who are RPG grant holders has increased from 17 percent in the mid-1990s to 29 percent currently. However, for MD/PhDs, growth in women investigators has been slower, increasing from 17 percent in the mid-1990s to 22 percent at the present time. Among veterinarian-scientists who receive RPGs from the NIH, men outnumber women by about three to one, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority (90 percent) of students enrolled in schools of veterinary medicine are women.
In contrast, among nurse-scientists applying for and receiving RPGs from NIH, women outnumbered men by approximately nine to one, reflecting their numerical dominance in the profession. Among dentist-scientists, women received about one-third of the RPGs awarded, yet constitute only about one-quarter of the dental-research workforce.
Challenges Confronting the Physician-Scientist Workforce
Several challenges confront the physician who elects to pursue a research career. Increases in the cost of obtaining medical education can burden students with high amounts of debt, especially those who were not enrolled in an integrated MD/PhD program. The training required to obtain competency in clinical and scientific research continues to increase, resulting in a marked prolongation of the training process. The transition between finishing a clinical or post-doctoral fellowship and initiating an independent research position is a very vulnerable period in the career path of all physician investigators. Funding pressures have mounted with the decrease in NIH funding and physician-scientists are increasingly being asked to support a higher percentage of their income by seeing patients. Financial opportunities in practice offer an attractive option for clinically-trained physician-scientists, who are also valuable as clinicians to academic medical centers, pulling them away from their investigative work and creating conflicting demands on time and energy.
Other challenges that particularly confront younger physician-scientists are finding ways to balance work/life demands, finding mentors who can support and guide early career investigators, and the increasingly time-consuming and demanding requirements to maintain clinical credentials.
Physician-scientists across all domains face similar challenges, although the extent of the challenges varies from discipline to discipline. The non-MD segments of the PSW have lacked a critical mass of scientific researchers due to the strong focus of veterinary, dental and nursing training programs on producing clinical practitioners. As a result, a major challenge among these segments of the physician-scientist workforce is a shortage of faculty members with scientific research programs who can serve as role models and mentors to students in training.
Nurse-Scientists. Nurses often obtain research training after several decades of clinical work, and thus begin their research careers later than other clinical researchers. This contributes to the shortage of nursing faculty to train the next generation of nurse-scientists.
Veterinarian-Scientists. The curriculum in veterinary schools of medicine does not typically promote the role of the veterinarian-scientist, reflected in the significant lack of investment and lack of critical mass of veterinarian-scientists. Students graduating from veterinary school carry a heavy load of student debt, which discourages pursuit of a research career that may pay less than clinical practice.
Dentist-Scientists. A significant concern in dental education is the number of vacant faculty positions. Other challenges include financial pressures on dental schools, leading to increased emphasis on clinical revenue generation and a decreased emphasis on research. As a result, the culture and environment within dental schools has led to a diminished pool of research faculty mentors for dentist-scientist trainees, coupled with a lack of understanding and support for the training and career development of dentist-scientist graduates.
Future Challenges. A number of forces outside the NIH pose great challenges to the future physician-scientist workforce, including dramatic changes in the economics of medicine and healthcare more broadly, rising educational debt, increasing length of training, growing regulatory burdens, challenges to the overall quality of Science, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM) education in the United States, and the changing demographics of students in medical, dental, and veterinary schools. Individuals who have obtained one or more degrees outside the United States also comprise a significant component of the physician-scientist workforce, which has not been adequately characterized.
Challenges Confronting the National Institutes of Health in Assessing the Health of the Biomedical Workforce
As part of its charge, the PSW Data Subcommittee reviewed, assessed, and assembled a wide array of data sources in order to describe the size and composition of the current physician-scientist workforce, as well as to evaluate the impact that NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) funding has on the workforce and its development. An important outcome of that investment is the identification, organization, and analysis of a large database of key information about the workforce, drawn not only from NIH's IMPACII database but also from key external organizations such as the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). NIH now has the opportunity to utilize this data in an ongoing and systematic way to address key biomedical workforce issues—now and in the future--that the agency as a whole, as well as individual NIH Institutes and Centers, must confront as it seeks to strengthen the biomedical research capacity of the United States.
Early Career Investment in the NIH-funded Physician-Scientist Workforce
NIH's investment in the training of physician-scientists has a significant return. The RPG award rates for first-time RPG applicants with a prior LRP or K award are much higher than for those without: For MDs: 44.1 percent vs 9.2 percent and for MD/PhDs: 60.0 percent vs 10.1 percent. Similarly, early career support for physician-scientists through the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) has also been successful at bolstering the physician-scientist workforce. Close to 80 percent of a cohort of MD/PhDs with past MSTP Appointments (1980-1989) have applied for RPGs, and approximately 78 percent have been successful. Despite this track record, the number of new physician-scientists with a medical degree entering the workforce is now declining, as reflected in the reduced numbers of applicants for early career (K and LRP) awards over the last 5 years.
Analysis of AMA and NIH data demonstrate continued aging over the past decade of physicians engaged in research, which presage a significant decline in the PSW, especially as the current cohort of senior physician-scientists retires. Our key recommendations thus focus on the early stages of the pipeline, on enhancing the ability of the NIH to evaluate the relative effectiveness of its programs to build and maintain the pipeline, and on systematically collecting and reviewing data so the biomedical workforce can more easily and readily be assessed.
The following recommendations apply to all clinically-trained investigators, including veterinarian-scientists, dentist-scientists, and nurse-scientists.
NIH should sustain strong support for the training of MD/PhDs. MD/PhD programs (including the Medical Scientist Training Program [MSTP] program funded by NIH) have been successful in promoting the development of physician-scientists and should be continued.
NIH should shift the balance in National Research Service Award (NRSA) postdoctoral training for physicians so that a greater proportion are supported through individual fellowships, rather than institutional training grants. The number of individual fellowship awards for MD-PhD students (F30/F31 grants) should also be increased. The PSW-WG endorses the similar recommendation from the Biomedical Workforce Working Group that support for both pre- and post-doctoral PhD trainees and individual fellowship for MD/PhD trainees should be expanded. It is critical to obtain accurate long-term follow-up on trainees through all of these programs to assess comparative effectiveness. These results should guide future allocation of NIH funds to these various mechanisms.
NIH should continue to address the gap in RPG award rates between new and established investigators. Although NIH policies have narrowed the gap for new RO1 applicants, this problem remains significant and needs continued attention. A number of pilot approaches should be explored, and rigorously assessed, with the most successful given expanded support (also see #7 below).
NIH should adopt rigorous and effective tools for assessing the strength of the biomedical workforce, including physician-scientists, and tracking their career development and progression. NIH should collaborate with external organizations that also have a strong investment in workforce development to collect, monitor, and report on key indices related to workforce issues. Specifically, NIH should establish an ongoing workgroup of NIH employees and external partners to support the development of a Biomedical Workforce Dashboard application that provides real-time tracking of the career development and progression of the workforce. The Dashboard would be a tool that both NIH employees and the public could use to instantly answer questions related to important workforce issues at the agency or I/C level.
NIH should establish a new physician-scientist-specific granting mechanism to facilitate the transition from training to independence. This program should be similar to the K99/R00 program whose funding currently goes almost exclusively to individuals holding a PhD degree. This new grant program could serve either as a replacement or transition from existing K Awards for physician scientists, and should provide a longer period of support, potentially lengthening the R00 phase to 5 years (with an interim staff review at year 3). This new grant series, as well as K and all other training awards, should rigorously enforce protected time of at least 75 percent effort and provide sufficient salary support to make that possible.
NIH should expand Loan Repayment Programs and the amount of loans forgiven should be increased to more realistically reflect the debt burden of current trainees. This program should also be made available to all students pursuing biomedical physician-scientist researcher careers, regardless of particular research area or clinical specialty.
NIH should support pilot grant programs to rigorously test existing and novel approaches to improve and/or shorten research training for physician-scientists. These programs should include (but not be limited to) mechanisms to shorten medical and/or laboratory training, explore timing and spacing of the research and clinical components of post-graduate training, and other alternatives. New opportunities for training in informatics and social science research that address emerging needs of the health care system should also be evaluated. Those programs exhibiting the most promising results should receive expanded support.
NIH should intensify its efforts to increase diversity in the physician-scientist workforce. This Working Group recognized major deficiencies of the physician-scientist workforce with regard to diversity. The PSW-WG strongly endorses the previous recommendations of the preceding biomedical workforce Working Group and the Working Group on diversity, all of which should be extended to the physician-scientist workforce.
NIH should leverage the existing resources of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program to obtain maximum benefit for training and career development of early-career physician-scientists. This process should include critical review and analysis of rigorous outcome data, as outlined in #7 above.

Every summer, people of the Jewish faith commemorate the day of Tisha B'Av by fasting and mourning. The date memorializes the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem centuries ago. In modern times, Tisha B'Av has become an annual opportunity for activism or charitable acts — a time to practice tikkun olam, the Jewish teaching of "repairing the world."
Across the nation this past weekend, T'ruah — a Jewish human-rights advocacy group — organized multiple vigils to protest the Trump administration's cruel treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers. As part of that effort, activists will demonstrate outside GEO Group headquarters in Boca Raton today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"It's time for the Jewish community to speak up for refugees and immigrants," says Charlie Nolan, an organizer with Never Again Action, a recently formed Jewish activism group. "When we see immigrants being dehumanized, marginalized, and stripped of their rights, it is a mirror image of the steps that were taken prior to our own genocides. We remember that, before there were death camps, there were 'detention centers' and mass arrests. When we say never again, we mean it."

Originally founded as the Wackenhut Corporation in Coral Gables, GEO Group has grown into the single largest contractor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and now operates more than 130 detention centers and prisons worldwide. Just last week, GEO opened a $57 million office building off I-95 near Florida Atlantic University.
"Never Again Action will gather outside GEO Group's world headquarters to express grief and rage that the company makes millions of dollars from the suffering of immigrant communities," a release from the protest's organizers states.
@GEOGroup is ICE's biggest detention center profiteer, and the second largest private-prison company in the world.

Activists with the Miramar Circle of Protection, Friends of Miami-Dade Detainees, Food Not Bombs Fort Lauderdale, and United We Dream will join the demonstration. One of the organizers, Nicole Morse, tells New Times that Jewish advocates want to show they are allied with immigrant communities.
"For a lot of us, what's really important — especially in our area of South Florida with such a strong Jewish community — is to make it very clear to the rest of America that the Jewish community is in solidarity with people who are being most overtly targeted by the Trump administration," she says.
Morse says the protest group hopes the demonstration, which was purposefully delayed from the weekend to a workday, will reach the people who work at GEO's complex.
"Our hope is to ensure that the workers in GEO's headquarters hear us and hear our protest, hear our calls for them to stop literally everything they're doing," she says. "Their entire business model is based on profiting from people's pain. We want to get people in the community to recognize what's going on right in our backyard."

Global Data Breach Penalties Go Up Seven-Fold to Exceed $300 Million in 2018
InfoWatch Analytics Center has released a global report on personal and payment data breach penalties imposed on government organizations and businesses. Globally, both the number and size of such penalties are growing, with 57 fines being imposed on businesses for a total of over $320 million in 2018 (compared to some $45 million paid in 39 such cases in 2017). Thus, the year 2018 saw more than a seven-fold increase in the global amount of fines for personal and payment data breaches and a five-fold growth in an average pay-out (up to $5.7 million).
Moreover, in 2018, such sanctions for personal data leaks were applied against companies across 11 countries (Austria, Brazil, United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Singapore, US, and France), while the 2017 penalties affected eight countries only, with the majority of data breach sanctions in 2017-2018 hitting companies in the US, UK, and Singapore. French authorities became much stricter and already imposed six penalties in 2018 (vs. only one such ruling made in 2017).
In 2018, the European Union gave effect to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that establishes personal data protection principles and requirements. Now, a company must pay the greater of 4% of its annual worldwide turnover or €20 million if it violates basic personal data processing principles or transfer rules, ignores a data processing prohibition, infringes upon data subject's rights, and so on.
A smaller yet significant fine of €10 million or 2% of annual worldwide turnover shall be imposed on a company that violates the procedure of data breach notification, lacks a data protection officer (where necessary), illegally processes children's personal data, etc.
The first penalties for GDPR violations were recorded at the end of 2018. Thus, Portuguese hospital Centro Hospitalar Barreiro Montijo was fined €400,000 for major violations related to personal data access.
"By adopting heavy liability for breaking personal data storage and processing rules, GDPR, in fact, sets global information protection standards," said Andrey Arsentyev, Analyst at InfoWatch Group. "GDPR operation will increase the liability for violations of personal data confidentiality, potentially costing large businesses billions in penalties."
The year 2018 brought three huge pay-outs for a total of over $200 million. Uber alone agreed to pay $148 million in connection with a 2016 breach compromising personal information of more than 57 million passengers and drivers – the world's largest penalty related to information protection so far. Yahoo is to pay $50 million to victims of digital burglaries that occurred in 2013 and 2014 affecting three billion user accounts, while Tesco Bank (UK) was fined $20.9 million over an attack, in which hackers stole $2.9 million from its customer accounts.
In the US, an average penalty per breach reached $23.3 million in 2018, which is eight times higher than in 2017 or four times higher if Uber's mega penalty is not taken into account.
In the United Kingdom, an average pay-out per leak increased by 14 times up to $1.69 million, or 2.5 times if Tesco Bank case is omitted.
In some other countries with similar lawsuits, e.g. Italy and Spain, an average penalty amount at least doubled to exceed $1M.
In 2018, Singapore saw a one-third rise in an average payment by businesses to approximately $10,000 and still remains the only Asian country that has an established practice of penalizing for personal data protection violations.
Unlike the said countries, Russia did not report any monetary sanctions against organizations for data breaches in 2017-2018. In 2018, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation drafted a bill to introduce amendments to the Code of Administrative Offences as per which a legal entity that commits a personal data breach must pay 10,000 to 30,000 rubles.
In the 2018 breakdown by industry, high-tech companies faced 25% of penalties for personal data breaches (which is more than the year before), financial organizations suffered 16% of all sanctions (twice as much as in 2017), manufacturing and transportation enterprises were fined in 12% of cases, while educational institutions accounted for 7% of all penalties. At the same time, the shares of healthcare and government sectors went down to 17% and 7%, respectively.
Andrey Arsentyev believes that increasing legislative pressure will make organizations more scrupulous about enterprise information asset security and protection against internal cyber threats. Indeed, as internally-driven data breaches cost more and more, businesses will continue to fortify their security by adopting Data Leak Prevention (DLP) and predictive analytics systems, added the expert.
